How We Operate |
|
The Baking Industry Association of New Zealand is governed by a board of seven Executive Members elected each year at the Annual General Meeting. Executive Members are usually bakery owners. They voluntarily give of their time to attend committee meetings, plan ahead and ensure the Baking Industry Association is fulfilling its mandate and meeting the needs of its members. Each of the Executive members holds a portfolio. These portfolios always include that of President, Vice-President and Treasurer. Other portfolios include Buying Group, Communications, Training, Competitions and Conference. Executive members report on their portfolio at the AGM. The Executive Committee holds four Executive meetings a year. BIANZ employs an executive officer to carry out the instructions of the Executive committee and fulfill the day to day requirements of the Association’s office. Executive Members 2008/2009
